Yes as long as you have a sample of something they have left a trace of their DNA on. For instance a fingernail, hair, or even skin. As long as you have something with the DNA in it, testing upon that can be done. It is always easier to take a fresh sample from the child however.

Yes, unfortunately you can. If you have slept around so much that you have to have multiple people tested, then you don't deserve support. You chose to have the child. So you need to step up and be the parent and support the kid. Also be prepared for the repercussions if you accuse the wrong man.

If a woman has a child out of sleeping around with multiple men she needs to support the child herself. That's what's wrong with the child support laws. They need to be available for women who had the children from a loving relationship. Since a woman has in her power the choice to become a parent or to abort/adopt a child, and the man cannot tell her what to do with her body, she should not be allowed to force him into fatherhood (unless a long term committed relationship) is able to be proven. You choose the child, you should know that it's going to be expensive and hard. If you can't handle it on your own, don't sleep around, or give the baby a good home. There are plenty of families that are looking for babies.

But since the way the country is set up, test away, and screw up some man's life.

Yes, I'm a woman writing this.
